Many things are possible, but each person is different so you'll need to consult with the dentist who is treating you.

Teeth can be moved through bone to improve their positions. Implants cannot. Malocclusions (bad bites) are addressable with Orthodontic treatment. If you have no natural teeth, your may have to consult with a specialist Prosthodontist and a specialist Oral Surgeon.
